INTRODUCTION (1) Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the internal market for electricity (hereafter the ‘Electricity Regulation’) establishes rules for the use of congestion income generated by the congestion management procedures. 1 OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 22. 2 OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 54. Page 1 of 13 PUBLIC Decision No 38/2020 (2) Pursuant to Article 19(2) of the Electricity Regulation, the following objectives shall have priority with respect to the allocation of any income resulting from the allocation of cross-zonal capacity: (a) guaranteeing the actual availability of the allocated capacity including firmness compensation, or (b) maintaining or increasing cross-zonal capacities or covering the costs resulting from network investments that are relevant to reduce interconnector congestion. (3) Pursuant to Article 19(4) of the Electricity Regulation, TSOs shall propose a methodology for the use of income in accordance with the objectives laid down in Article 19(2) of that Regulation (hereafter the “UCI Methodology”), after consulting regulatory authorities and relevant stakeholders. The TSOs’ proposal had to be submitted to ACER by 5 July 2020. (4) Pursuant to Article 19(4) of the Electricity Regulation ACER shall decide on the TSOs’ proposal for the use of congestion income methodology within six months of receiving it. 2. PROCEDURE (5) On 3 July 2020, ENTSO-E submitted on behalf of the TSOs listed in Article 2 of this Decision a “TSOs’ proposal for Use of Congestion Income Methodology, in accordance with Article 19(4) of the Electricity Regulation” (the “Proposal”) to ACER and published it. (6) Having identified three certified TSOs not indicated by ENTSO-E as represented TSOs, namely Baltic Cable AB (“Baltic Cable”), a single-interconnector certified TSO in Germany, the Cypriot Transmission System Operator, a TSO member of ENTSO-E from Cyprus, and Eneco Valcanale S.r.l, a single-interconnector certified TSO in Austria, ACER consulted those TSOs from 30 July 2020 to 1 December 2020. (7) On 15 September 2020, Baltic Cable submitted comments on the Proposal and, on 25 November and 1 December 2020, provided further clarifications of its position. (8) On 9 October 2020, the Cypriot Transmission System Operator informed ACER that, in its view, Article 19 of the Electricity Regulation does not apply to Cyprus, as currently the Cyprus system is not interconnected. Therefore, the Cypriot Transmission System Operator did not provide any comments on the Proposal. (9) ACER did not receive comments from Eneco Valcanale S.r.l. (10) On 28 November 2020, ACER shared a draft of its decision to ENTSO-E (as the entity representing the submitting TSOs). (11) On 3 December 2020, ACER received ENTSO-E’s feedback indicating that, following an internal discussion, they had no substantial comments to the content of the draft decision. Page 2 of 13 PUBLIC Decision No 38/2020 3. ACER’S COMPETENCE TO DECIDE ON THE PROPOSAL (12) Pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/942 and Article 19(4) of the Electricity Regulation, ACER shall decide on the proposed methodology within six months of receiving it. (13) The TSOs, represented by ENTSO-E, submitted the Proposal on the basis of Article 19(4) of the Electricity Regulation on 3 July 2020. (14) Therefore, ACER is competent to decide on this Proposal according to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/942 and Article 19(4) of the Electricity Regulation. 4. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL (15) The Proposal submitted to ACER consists of the following elements: The “Whereas” section; Article 1 establishes the subject matter and scope of the Proposal, as well as the scope of application of the methodology. Article 2 includes the definitions and interpretations of the terms used in the Proposal. Article 3 sets the cost categories contributing to the priority objectives (a) and (b) of Article 19(2) of the Electricity Regulation. Article 4 contains details about the elements to be communicated by TSOs to the corresponding NRAs concerning the use of the congestion income for the next calendar year(s). Article 5 describes the congestion income allocation process, including the features of the separate internal account, the conditions for placing congestion income on a separate internal account, and details on handling the separate internal account. Article 6 sets the commencement dates of the implementation of the use of the congestion income methodology. Article 7 refers to the reference language for the methodology adopted, which shall be English. 5. OBSERVATIONS RECEIVED BY ACER 5.1. Consultation of TSOs (16) ACER received comments from Baltic Cable and the Cyprus Transmissions System Operator. Page 3 of 13 PUBLIC Decision No 38/2020 (17) The feedback provided by Baltic Cable is summarised and assessed in Annex II. As explained in that Annex, in ACER’s view, the concerns expressed by Baltic Cable do not require an amendment of the Proposal. (18) The Cypriot Transmission System Operator only stated that it is not interconnected and that therefore Article 19 of the Electricity Regulation does not apply to it. (19) In that regard, it is to note that, currently, the provisions of the Electricity Regulation on the use of congestion income do not affect Cyprus, which has no interconnections with other systems, and do not affect Eneco Valcanale S.r.l, as “in November 2010 Eneco Valcanale received an exemption from Article 6(6)(a) and (b) Regulation(EC) No 1228/20033, the Second Energy Package Electricity Regulation, with regard to the use of congestion rents” 4. 5.2. Consultation of the AEWG (20) In its advice and comments on the draft decision on the methodology for the use of congestion income, the AEWG concluded that it broadly endorsed the consulted draft decision, remarking that a single interconnector should not be discriminated compared to other TSOs, that minor issues discussed at the AEWG meeting should be solved between ACER and the relevant regulatory authority bilaterally and that no further concerns were tabled during the AEWG meeting or in writing. 6. ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSAL (21) Article 19 of the Electricity Regulation provides the regulatory framework for the Proposal, including both procedural and substantive requirements. 6.1. Compliance with the procedural requirements (22) Regarding the procedural requirements, Article 19(4) of Electricity Regulation requires: - the TSOs to consult the corresponding regulatory authorities and relevant stakeholders before adopting the proposed methodology for the use of congestion income methodology. - the TSOs to submit the proposed methodology to ACER by 5 July 2020. (23) The TSOs launched a public consultation on 20 March 2020 where all stakeholders were invited to submit their comments on the proposed draft methodology until 1 May 2020. In addition, TSOs organised a webinar on 15 April 2020 where they explained further the rationale of their draft methodology and replied to participants’ questions. TSOs published their evaluation of stakeholders’ comments received during the public consultation. Moreover, TSOs had several exchanges with ACER 3 Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity 4 As reported in the Commission Opinion of 5 March 2015 pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 and Article 10(6) of Directive 2009/72/EC - Austria - Certification of Eneco Valcanale S.r.l. Page 4 of 13 PUBLIC Decision No 38/2020 and regulatory authorities during the drafting process. (24) Finally, on behalf of the TSOs, ENTSO-E submitted the Proposal to ACER on 3 July 2020. (25) Therefore, in ACER’s view, the submitted Proposal has met the aforementioned procedural requirements of Article 19(4) of the Electricity Regulation. 6.2. Compliance with the substantive requirements (26) Regarding the substantive requirements, Article 19(4) of the Electricity Regulation determines that the methodology shall set out at least the conditions under which the income can be used for the purposes referred to in paragraph 2 of the same Regulation, as well as the conditions under which this income may be placed on a separate internal account line for future use for those purposes, and for how long this income may be placed on such an account line. (27) The Proposal includes, as stated in its Article 1(1) concerning the subject of matter and scope: - the conditions under which congestion income may be used for the purposes referred to in Article 19(2) of the Electricity Regulation, - the conditions under which congestion income may be placed on a separate internal account line for future use for those purposes, and - for how long congestion income may be placed on such an internal account line.

  • The Benefits of Investing in Electricity Transmission a Case Study of Northern Europe
    The Benefits of Investing in Electricity Transmission A Case Study of Northern Europe Jonas Teusch Arno Behrens Christian Egenhofer January 2012 Abstract Electricity trading can bring down the costs of the EU’s transition to a competitive low-carbon economy, in particular by facilitating the integration of renewable energy from variable sources. Yet insufficient grid infrastructure and regulatory obstacles prevent the trading potential from being fully realised in northern Europe. While many interconnector projects are under development, various barriers are precluding the grid rollout from taking place on time. The European Commission’s energy infrastructure package is an important step forward to overcome these barriers. But the scale and urgency of the infrastructure challenge call for significant further progress. This study was funded by Dong Energy, Fortum, Statkraft and Vattenfall. The authors would like to extend special thanks to officials and representatives from the European Commission, ENTSO-E, ACER, BNetzA, the Swedish Markets Inspectorate and EWEA for their valuable assistance and support. The preliminary results of this study were discussed at a stakeholder workshop held at CEPS on 28 September 2011; the main results were debated by a high-level panel on 28 November 2011. Unless otherwise indicated, the views expressed are attributable only to the authors in a personal capacity and not to any institution with which they are associated.

  • Successful Launch of Swe Common Synchronised Operations with Nwe Price
    North-Western Price Coupling of South-Western Europe Regions Europe SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF SWE COMMON SYNCHRONISED OPERATIONS WITH NWE PRICE COUPLING 4 February 2014. The South-Western Europe (SWE) and North-Western Europe (NWE) day-ahead price coupling project partners are pleased to announce the successful launch of common synchronised operations of NWE and SWE day-ahead markets. Full price coupling on the French-Spanish border will be launched at a later stage. This has been decided by the project partners, following common testing and alignment of Gate Closure Times. Both projects operate using the systems and procedures provided by the Price coupling of Regions (PCR) initiative. This launch is a significant step towards an integrated European power market. In pursuit of European day-ahead Price coupling, NWE and SWE have designed a step-by-step approach to integrate the Iberian market and NWE. Steps to integrate the day-ahead markets in the SWE and NWE regions have been underway since April 2013, addressing the joint testing of systems and operational procedures for the combined NWE and SWE regions. Alignment of timings in the SWE and NWE day-ahead markets successfully took place on 15 October 2013, when the Iberian day-ahead Gate Closure Time was switched to 12h00 CET. The penultimate step was achieved on 4 February with the go-live of common synchronised operations of the NWE and SWE projects for delivery on 5 February 2014. SWE uses the same PCR systems and operational procedures as NWE. For the time being, PCR will operate without offering capacity at the French-Spanish border to the price coupling, so the daily explicit auction on this border will be maintained as it is today.
